NEW YORK – LA Clippers forward Paul George has been fined $35,000 for public criticism of the officiating, it was announced today by Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.

George made his comments to the media following the Clippers’ 110-103 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Feb. 11 at Wells Fargo Center. The amount of George’s fine also reflects his multiple prior violations of the rule prohibiting public criticism of the officiating.
